As a stranger entered a little country store, he noticed a sign warning, "

Danger!Beware of dog!" posted on the glass door.Inside, he noticed a harmless old

hounddog asleep on the floor beside the

cashregister. "Is that the dog folks are

supposed to beware of?" he asked the

owner. "Yes, that's him," came the reply.

The stranger couldn't  help but beamused. "

That certainly doesn't look likea dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?" "Because,"

theowner explained, "BeforeI posted this ,

people kept tripping over him!"
